Radical-like reactivity of rhodium(II) octaethylporphyrin dimer with trimethylphosphite
Abstract
Rhodium(II) octaethylporphyrin dimer, (Rh-OEP)2, reacts with P(OMe)3 to produce RhOEP[P(O)-(OMe)2] and products associated with the methyl radical, indicative of an unusual donor-induced metallo-radical process.
